For “spiritual explorers” ready to travel beyond Western bounds,
a beginner’s guide to Asian spiritual traditions spanning regions,
cultures, and history
Asian spiritual practices, from yoga and tai chi to qigong and
mindfulness meditations, permeate our culture. But these practices are
often casually used in the West, and sometimes little understood. As
informative as it is inviting, A Lamp unto Yourself introduces
“spiritual explorers” of all experience levels to embodied Eastern
spiritual practices.
Employing decades of personal and professional experience with Asian
spiritualities, C. Pierce Salguero explains the origins of key Asian
spiritual practices. He grounds them in their historical and
philosophical contexts and provides information on how the reader can
begin and deepen their personal practices. Salguero also discusses the
focus of the path (heart, body, or perception) and describes what one
might experience as they develop their practice. In A Lamp unto
Yourself, readers will learn more about such traditions as
- mindfulness meditation, insight meditation, and loving-kindness
meditation
- yogas, tai chi, and qigong
- Taoism and Advaita
- mantras, chakras, and tantra
Those looking to begin practicing for the first time or to simply
expand their ever-growing spiritual tool kits will feel empowered to
explore Eastern spirituality with knowledge and autonomy. With Salguero
as their guide, readers can confidently embark on their journeys to
becoming, as Buddha would encourage, a lamp unto themselves.
